The 37-year-old was spotted by fans while waiting in line for the Droomvlucht attraction.
Eleven-year-old Thyrza and her mother Dea van Gelstwijk-Ligthart recognized the actor and approached him.
After confirming his identity, Grint agreed to take a photo with them inside the ride's gift shop to avoid causing a commotion in the crowded queue.
Throughout the visit, Grint kept a low profile, wearing a hat to maintain privacy for his wife and children.
He was later seen enjoying other areas of the park, including the Fairy Tale Forest.
A Second Visit to Efteling
This is Grint's second documented trip to the Dutch amusement park. He previously visited on New Year's Eve in 2019.
Efteling has attracted various international celebrities over the years, including supermodel Gigi Hadid, talk show host Seth Meyers, and singer Kate Bush.
The actor's vacation coincides with the release of his new body horror film Nightborn, directed by Hanna Bergholm.

In the Finnish folklore-inspired film, Grint stars alongside Seidi Haarla as a father navigating a nightmare transition into new parenthood.
Bergholm described the film as exploring "the messy, difficult, and sometimes 'ugly' side of parental love." The horror film incorporates Nordic mythologies about forest-dwelling trolls.
